Nyaungshwe hotellia

Plussat: Really exceptional place. The family in the hotel name is certainly fitting because that's how you feel here. The rooms are nice, clean and comfortable in fitting with a 3 star room. The outside is very nice along the bungalows with plenty of well kept flowers and trees and the hotel is right beside a nice little lake. The best part really is how helpful and nice the staff are especially the owner herself. On arrival we were given some welcome green tea and snacks before our rooms were ready. Within an hour she had arranged dinner for us, booked us a full day tour on the lake for the following day and arranged our buses. Breakfast is lovely also. You are served a mix of Asian food along with fresh juice, coffee, eggs, tea, pancakes, toast etc. All very delicious. Thanks so much for your kind hospitality.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Firstly, the owners and the staff are fantatic and helpful, the bangalow is big, nice, comfortable. The situation is just perfect. The breafast the best ever, we stay 5 nights and everyday was different. We had a lot of help from the owners to book differents activities. They also have free bike for us. Just go there, I'll promess, you won't be disappointed. Thank you to everyone at the Trinity family

Plussat: Everything, location, food, but the owner is very kind, makes you feel at home

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: the hotel is amazing! clean, nice, great location! exceptionally delicious breakfasts, different every day! but ... the most important thing is ... Ma Htwe ... owner of the hotel ❤️ wonderful woman! takes care of everything! she cared about our sick son as if her own ❤️

Miinukset: everything was great!!!

Plussat: The owner was very helpful, going the extra mile to make sure our stay was fabulous. Her recommendations for local eateries and activities were spot on and her attention to detail exemplary! The room was spacious with a nice roomy bathroom, Breakfasts were substantial and bicycles available to get around town. The absolute highlight was the boat trip on Lake Inle with Pasoe. He was sensitive to our needs and took us to a most stunning and secluded restaurant for lunch - the Lotus Garden. Everything about Trinity Family Inn is of the highest quality and I would highly recommend it to everyone!

Miinukset: Nothing to critique here.

Plussat: I had read the reviews about the outstanding staff, and this was completely correct, they were unbelievable including organising a wonderful boat. The rooms were designed to an extremely high standard, and the breakfast was beautiful. A great example of a beautifully run family guest house which Myanmar thrives in. One of the very best places we stayed and we loved every minute.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Fresh breakfast, very good location, surrounding had many very good restaurants, owner is warmly, a pretty yard

Miinukset: Towers and showers system can be improve a little

Plussat: Very friendly owner, professional and lots of good information on activities and sightseeing Good breakfast, fresh ingredients and every day something different. Lovely rooms with large shower areas, clean and really nice garden. From here you can go to restaurants by foot. Otherwise bicycles are available too.

Miinukset: Bicycles could be in a better state

Plussat: Family Trinity Inn was the best accomodation during our trip in Myanmar. We arrived early in the morning with the nightbus. Unfortunateley early check-in wasn't possible, because the hotel was completeley booked out, but we were served breakfast on the house. The Trinity Family Inn also provided complementary bicycles, which we used to cycle around the lake. We were provided great information by the hotel owner, where to cycle and what to do. I can also recommend to book the boot tour via the hotel. The hotel doesn't keep any commission and we paid the boat driver directly, who was great! Accomodating our wishes, bringing us to a great and quiet lunch place and staying with us on the lake until sunset. All in all I can only recommend Family Trinity Inn! P.s.: It also pays off to contact them directly and not via booking.com ;)

Plussat: Great property by the lake and great service

Miinukset: None

Plussat: Sanctum Inle Resort was Cozy sanctuary as like it's name. Everything was almost perfect, I'll go Inle Lake once more to stay at this hotel. Carefui and observant staffs, natural gardening and location made cozy serene atmosphere.

Miinukset: None

Plussat: When you expect luxury service level from an hotel, you get the kind of service we received in this hotel. Since the first moment you enter the property, you realize that, yes, this is a very well managed luxury hotel; from the beauty of the place, gardens, furniture, classic design with a modernity twist, to the high level of the service provided by the friendly and very professional staff, everything in this hotel is organized to provide the guests a exceptional stay. We stayed in one of the suites with balcony over viewing the lake, which was really big and very well decorated and had a fantastic huge bed that gave us two great nights. The bathroom is simply great with plenty of space and with a great shower and, if you are in the mood, a bath tub to splurge yourself into it. The breakfast was great with plenty of food options and can be enjoyed in the quietness of the terrace which has a view over the swimming pool and the lake. We also had dinner there, at the restaurant, and the food is excellent, at "chef level", although the desserts can be improved to meet the high level of the rest of the meal. The bar is very pleasant and has a huge choice of beverages. All in all, this is a luxury hotel that we loved.

Miinukset: The room should have a reading light. Reading while in bed is really difficult.

Plussat: Cleanless, nice garden, modern design, room in european standard, however not really burmese feeling, but I guess this is really the best what you can find on Inle lake

Miinukset: Ambience during the evening is really poor. Since there is anything to do around the hotel (not close to the any other restaurant or city/village) would be nice to have at least an ambience music during the dinner. We were there during New Years Eve, and finished in the bed even before the midnight, sice hotel did absolutely none program after 9pm. Breakfest could be better.

Plussat: We spent new years eve at the hotel - very nice. Its a great place to relax and enjoy the luxurious surroundings :-)

Plussat: Charming property. Large rooms

Miinukset: 1) wi-if was very poor 2) buffet breakfast was below par - hardly any options

Plussat: We had an upgrade to the Opera suite which was magical, thank you! The hotel it self was beautiful and staff was lovely!

Miinukset: It is sad to say that we joined the hotels boat tour and was unable to speak to the driver as he did not speak english. We were set to go to particular shops during the entire boat tour and unfortunately we were sold fake rubies. We found out after returning home. I would have thought that this is a reliable tour organised by the hotel that we can trust, however this was not true and it was very disappointing. DO NOT BUY VALUABLE ITEMS ON THE LAKE!

Plussat: Sofitel was the best hotel we have ever stayed at. The rooms are grand, the staff are wonderful and there are plenty of tour options to see Inle Lake. We had the buffet dinners at night which were delicious and good value for money ($25 pp).

Miinukset: The property is as far south of the lake as you can go, which means it’s hard to get around and the car to town is expensive. If you are happy to be stuck in paradise for a few days then this is perfect!

Plussat: Location, scenery, large rooms, all beautiful, nice jetty and selection of activities. Very good spa and special thanks to lady December who made massage

Miinukset: Food is not really amazing , a lot of dishes taste the same and prices for eating are too high, slow and not safe internet, limited supply of water and shower gels in the rooms.

Plussat: Great location Excellent room

Miinukset: Some problems with the stuff Frequent power shortages (might be due to NY celebration preparation)

Plussat: Overall a really enjoyable stay! Staff were incredibly friendly, great services offered, rooms more than adequate,... Would recommend!

Plussat: Amazing place. All the Staff incredibly helpful and good people. Loved every minute. Thanks to the whole team and one out of all - Jason! The location is breathtaking. The villa on the lake is the one to go for , even if just for one night, as sunset is spectacular. Massage was great too

Plussat: Location, bar, room , impeccable

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The location, the smiling helpful staff, the room with a splendid view on the Lake, silence and calm. Great XMas Buffet! Would just find a more resourceful band to animate :)! Our stay was amazing! Will definitely recommend this hotel to visit Inle!

Plussat: Everything was perfect. The best place we stayed during our 2 weeks holiday in Myanmar.

Plussat: Stunning view from our room! We stayed for 2 nights and it was good.

Miinukset: Selling things with bird poo. Don't buy nice souvenirs there. WiFi is extremely slow, which is not acceptable at the hotel of this level. They have a glass bottle for water at the room which has filled from small plastic bottles.

Plussat: Very beautiful and quiet hotel with a unique position, as you have access to the lake and the street. The rooms are very confortable and well decorated. Amazing view over the lake from the swimming pool, the restaurant and the junior suite (maybe from the deluxe room as well). A really magical moment !

Miinukset: The staff was very kind and helpful but only a few of them could speak English. (For your information, the manager can speak French!)

Plussat: We had a wondefull stay at the Resort which is a very nice "boutique hotel" We spent 3 nights with our two children now adults Our two rooms both had a nice view on the gardens and the Lake The hotel has a private jetty which is very convenient : the first day we started for a full day on the Lake organized by the hotel, the second one we crossed by boat the lake and came back with bicycles to see the countryside. Both days were very enjoyable. The staff of the hotel is very friendly and helpfull. The restaurant is very good with fresh food both Asian or Western dishes. On top of that we could relax at the swimming pool looking over the Lake. The hotel is not too close from the Lake and quiet (you don't hear the loud noise from the boats) and at the same time convenient with its private jetty and canal to the Lake We definitely recommand the hotel for an unforgettable experience at Lake Inle Patrick & Claire

Plussat: Great, spacious and very clean room. Lovely and personal touches like recognising the guests , cookies for the kids, etc.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great service and staff, excellent breakfast

Miinukset: Very unfavourable exchange rate used for payment

Plussat: You will love everything about this hotel. - great rooms - eco hotel - amazing breakfast - infinity pool - sunrise over the lake

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The staff went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. Breakfast was great, and so was the rest of the restaurant food. The location was absolutely beautiful, and they arranged boat trips for us around the lake as we requested. Definitely recommended!

Plussat: The location is great near the village and lake. Spacious rooms and beautiful wooden floors. Quite and beautiful garden with view on the lake and moyntain. Staff extremely nice and hepful

Miinukset: No internet in the room is extraordinary. The shower is outdated. A small bathtub with old curtain is not up to standard.

Plussat: Nice location close to the jetty. Has a nice view from the rooftop restaurant. The room was a nice big size and very comfortable. Offered free tea and coffee.

Plussat: Everything was perfect, service, staff, facilities. Stayed here for the 2nd time and definitely will come back! Thank you for the great experience in the amazing Inlay lake!

Plussat: The staff was super friendly, tl you can book everything through them. I took a night bus, they let me use this shower way after i checked out, before i got on the bus

Miinukset: Not complaints

Plussat: Super convenient location,only 2 minutes walking to boat parking. Rooms are quite comfortable, staff is very friendly and helpful. Not big selection of meal for breakfast but overall it was ok

Miinukset: Floor in a bathroom is always wet, could be a bit noisy in a room as hotel locates just on the main road in Nyaung-Shwe

Plussat: Big room, nice bathroom, great shower with hot water, free drinking water, excellent staff, nice terrace to watch sunset.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff was great and gave us drinks and snacks as soon as we walked in. Rooms were clean and felt new. The view was great from the room and we enjoyed being on the Main Street and close to the water. Breakfast was generous and varied.

Miinukset: The rooms were a bit small but not a big issue.

Plussat: The location is great. Easy approach the market bus stop. The hotel staffs are very friendly and nice. Especially thanks for Mr. Wint Moe, his clear explains and professional arrangement helped us to have an excellent boat trip and outside car visit. Will choose here if I come to Lake Inle again.

Plussat: The staff was extremely friendly and helped us with bustickets, tours, and anything we needed. They have a very nice rooftop terrace where you can watch the sunset and enjoy a free cocktail. This was by far the best hotel we stayed in in Myanmar.

Plussat: Super helpful and caring staff. Good choice of food in the restaurant ( we also had room service).

Miinukset: Nothing. Everything was well organised and pleasant.

Plussat: excellent staff and very good hotel. very satisfied.

Plussat: Breakfast is amazing. Terraces are perfect. Staff is very nice and helpful.

Plussat: Beautiful setting, nice rooms with great direct access by boat to the lake. The staff were very helpful. There was a nightly turndown service to prepare the bed and mosquitoe net which was great as I hate untangling mosquitoe nets.

Miinukset: The pool closed early at 7pm and the jacuzzi and sauna were only open from 4-7pm which doesn’t give a lot of time to enjoy them after a day out on the lake.

Plussat: Evrything was so great

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Staff, the room, the side opportunities : spa & jacuzzi

Plussat: Almost everything

Miinukset: A bit faraway from the villages. Noisy temple right on the side. They start to pray loud at 4AM right beside hotel rooms. Noisy families almost everywhere

Plussat: The whole atmospheer of the location was gold.

Miinukset: We are enthousiast !

Plussat: The place is really beautiful and relaxing. The hotel itself is beautiful too. The view from the bungalows is awesome! The breakfast was good.

Miinukset: We liked our first room (the villa) more than the bungalows because of the matras and the blankets. We wanted to try living in one of the bungalows to compare. A little far from Nyaung Shwe which means that you’ll have to pay for taxis to get you there and back if you want to go to a restaurant or bar. It’s around 20 000 kyats.

Plussat: The staff was super friendly and very very helpful

Miinukset: The bad thing was breakfast wasn’t included and there was no Wi-Fi in the room until we kicked Up a fuss and they got a route especially for us into the room we understood that y fie was throughout the hotel with kids this is important

Plussat: Fantastic rooms, fantastic staff leaded by general manager Yulia. They try everything to satisfy the client. Probably best hotel in Myanmar. Also restaurant is not bad.

Miinukset: In the villa wifi is poor or absent

Plussat: Incredible hotel on the Inle lake with an amazing view on the lake. Maybe the best hotel I was in Myanmar. Very well located to visit the lake. The rooms are huge and the furniture are incredible. Very confortable bed and pillows. Very big bed. The room and the bathroom are very clean and very big. The breakfast is the best breakfast I had in Myanmar. With choice of local and fresh food. The staff of the hotel is very helpful and friendly. We also eat one night at the hotel and the restaurant is very good. I recommend this hotel and I will come back without hesitation.

Plussat: The staff was very friendly and helpful. The compund was well kept. The room was very clean and big, nice bed with mosquito net also. We had a lakeview room. Check in was quick and effort less.

Miinukset: we had to keep asking to refill amenities such as shower gel and shampoo because we forgot to pack them. Other than that, everything was wonderful.

Plussat: 1. Rooms are clean and environment very well kept. 2. Nice surrounding with jetty right within the hotel premise for boat ride. You can order the boat ride either with hotel directly or from the restaurant (new life) opposite hotel 3. Staff are very attentive. 4. Beautiful sunset - stunning view from the hotel's lakeside bar. There is 1 for 1 drink between 4-6pm. Just nice to enjoy the sunset over a drink.

Plussat: The view from our room was very nice and breakfast was good. The staff was very kind.

Miinukset: The toilet in the room was a bit smelly.

Plussat: Overall well maintain facilities, modern yet eco-feel architecture, friendly staff, spacious rooms with nice view, direct access to the lake, free water

Miinukset: Cost of food, limited dining&wine selection, loud music for a Christmas dinner, small and not very practical pool set up

Plussat: We got an upgrade. The villa was amazing

Plussat: Great hotel-- we got upgraded to a villa ehich was the highlight of our stay. Clean, spacious rooms; friendly staff; great food (at Myanmar standards); good location; peaceful surroundings - would defintely stay again.

Miinukset: Nothing to dislike at this hotel.

Plussat: Friendly staff. Early check-in without additional pay. Clean and spacious room with a large terrace. Great location, excellent sunset view

Miinukset: Cold pool, couldn’t have some food in the midday Don’t take cocktails there!

Plussat: Great Service. Spacious and very comfortable rooms.

Plussat: Staffs are very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Should give more info how to get to the hotel. The cost and time to the boat from each jetty. Also, the info of entrance fee of Inle lake.

Plussat: Super location, very friendly and helpful staff Very recomendable

Plussat: Stunning view

Miinukset: It is in a high traffic and noisy area

Plussat: The position, the room, the dinners and breakfasts, the staff.. Everything!!

Miinukset: Nothing, everything was perfect

Plussat: - early Check-in - staff is amazing - food is very good - location is perfect

Miinukset: For room Windows, they should put something to reduce the noise from boats

Plussat: The staff is very helpful and kind. Excellent price/quality. As the hotel is on the lake, you could deal with a taxi boat driver to visit different places around the lake. Visiting the villages, the floating gardens and different workshops is amazing.

Miinukset: Very noisy from 5:30 am to 8:30 pm with motor boats

Plussat: This hotel is located on the lake with amazing views, and was the best place we stayed at on our Myanmar trip. All staff is very welcoming, smiling and they can't do enough for us. The room very clean and breakfast was amazing. There were freshly made pancake, bacon and eggs, fresh fruits and a selection of breads, all serve on the outside veranda over looking the lake. We will definitely will be back again.

Miinukset: The water in the shower smells a little bit of algae, but wasn't really an issue

Plussat: Incredibly nice hotel at Inle lake: spacious and luxurious villas, very friendly and helpful staff, very good restaurant and a great pool. No noise except for sounds of nature. The hotel offers fair priced trips on the lake. We liked the breakfast a la carte more than the buffet style, cause it is very comfortable and everything is freshly served. Thank you so much for a wonderful time at your hotel!

Plussat: I like the property very much. Definitely recommend.

Miinukset: Food probably can be better.

Plussat: Staff were nice and helpfull

Miinukset: A bit aged compare to picture

Plussat: Everything was wonderful! All the staff are well trained, friendly, and helpful. The facilities are all very well maintained and beautifully designed -- so much teak! I arrived, exhausted and frazzled, by overnight "VIP" bus from Yangon (which I only recommend to those who either feel they need to atone for past sins, or who are so young that they can sleep in tank in battle). The staff welcomed me for early check-in, and I had a very good breakfast (at an extra charge, which is to be expected). The staff arranged a tour of the lake by private boat, which lasted all day, at a very reasonable price. My room -- lake front villa -- was amazing! Everything was perfect. The off-season weather was exceptional -- and I have the sunburned face to prove it. Inle Lake is an incredible place to visit, and I highly recommend splurging on a high-end hotel like Aureum.

Miinukset: It’s an overpriced hotel. Once you are there, you are stuck. You don’t have a choice! We were put in a room with non-functioning aircon and the staff wanted to put an air cooler! With some convincing we were put in another room where thankfully the aircon worked. This hotel is avoidable considering nothing works here!

Plussat: Excellent food, very friendly people

Miinukset: Villa is certainly spacious (~100 square meters) for having two separate rooms with a door instead of a solid open space. I would prefer a separated bedroom. Family with kids also may like it that way. It could be my very personal subjective opinion for hotel owner consideration. Please do not consider as a complain.

Plussat: Great Breakfast. Secluded rooms. Amazing lake view

Miinukset: Would appreciate to be able to use the bike outside the hotel, for the bike rental is far.

Plussat: This hotel is beautiful and the staff is very helpful. The cute cultural and sustainable aspects are great. It's both central in the little town, and also right on the water so you can hop in a boat and go down a canal to the lake. The pool is amazing, breakfast was lovely.. we loved our stay!

Plussat: It looks beautiful. The location was good almost center of Nyaungushew, and right next to the boat station. The pool was very unique that situated in middle of the pond. The staffs were very kind; especially the man in the bar and the dining area. They were very friendly and professional as well. I love the breakfast, it was pretty simple but mixed asian and western well. I liked the breads and toast and variety of jams.

Miinukset: I didn’t like the bed and linens. They were pretty old and worn out, and not clean. There were yellow stains on the curtains. We stayed room 101 and no sunlights all day, and no mosquito nets. The both of the electrical outlets next to the bed were not working and i have to charge my phone in the bathroom. I was so disappointed about their facilities.

Plussat: Large comfortable room overlooking a small private lake. lovely setting and a few minutes walk from the town centre. Ok breakfast but very nicely presented. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: A bit faded for the prices they are charging. Curtains stained and torn, had to get stained bedding changed on arrival. Floating pool is a great idea but doesn’t work in practice as big air bubbles underneath mean it is very shallow. Restaurant food looks great but hideously expensive compared to what’s on offer in town. Wooden walkways are dangerously slippery when it rains.

Plussat: The hotel is incredibly beautiful and well kept, we specially loved the pool area in the middle of the lotus lake The rooms are gorgeous and if you can book a room with a balcony, perfect for the rainy afternoons Breakfast is the best we had during our trip in Myanmar and we can also recommend the bar The other aspect we really enjoyed is the location in the center of Nyaung Shwe. it’s close to good local restaurants and tours if you don’t want to always be at the hotel

Miinukset: Nothing really Loved everything

Plussat: An oasis in town

Plussat: Great place, lovely layout of the rooms and right in the river. The restaurant is also a must do for dinner

Plussat: Close to boat station easy to jump in boat and explore the lake

Miinukset: Little bit noisy, because location close to boat pier and main road

Plussat: Amazing and polite workers, always there for help. Very beautiful and comfortable vilas ( better than some 5 star hotels). Natural soaps and shampoos. Good pool Good location Beautiful insides

Miinukset: Breakfast could be much better and complete

Plussat: I like this place in Nyaung Shwe (been here two times) because of their restaurant (shan fussion cuisine) and the coziness and confort of the rooms built on pillars on an artificial little lake. Breakfast is great too, and the hotel location makes it a good starting point for your day trip to Inle lake, explore the village or start a bicycle tour. There is a fireplace where to have a drink in colder winter nights which is a great place to meet other travellers as well.

Miinukset: Came here during this last christmas break and found that the price was a bit too high compared to my previous stay back in 2016. The hotel has undergone renovation, but seems that only in the outter facades; the rooms inside need some painting too.

Plussat: We liked the location, not far from Nyaung shwe. The staff was nice , polite and attentive. It is a beautiful resort. I took a lot of pictures of the resort, and got a lot of good compliments.

Miinukset: Shower was outside, it was an open air shower. We were there in November, it was cold to take a shower at nights and mornings.

Plussat: Beautiful hotel right on the lake. The rooms are spacious and really comfortable. The staff are so lovely and accomodating. We would definitely come back.

Miinukset: The beers/drinks are expensive, but that’s the case with most resorts.

Plussat: Lovely resort, quaint and comfortable. Spacious room, great terrace, comfy beds. Staff is super kind, helpful and efficient. Boat tour of the late was seamless, efficient and thoroughly enjoyable. Sunset views from the lobby area was out of this world. Food was decent and cocktails very well prepared.

Miinukset: Hotel and staff were amazing. The smell of burning agricultural waste by farmers in the vicinity was sometimes unpleasant but there is nothing the resort can do about this.

Plussat: The view from terrace, nice and clean interiors and amenities, the quality of services. The hot pack in the bed was so helpful, because it is very cold at night. The breakfast is excellent, was able to enjoy good local food.

Miinukset: Not in particular. The best hotel I stayed in Myanmar, so far, in terms of quality of services.

Plussat: very peaceful location . Staff helpful in organising trips etc. Room comfortble but night times surprisingly cold. Need a seconfd duvet on the bed at night. You will need a coat to explore the lake in early morning in January

Miinukset: Staff need more training. Some english not well understood by serving staff. EG I would like by meat 'well done') They had an annoying habit of insisting that you sign for drinks/ food etc at the end of a meal when you are trying to leave and it took several minutes to organise. ie they weren't ready) . Drink orders had to be repeated several times then someone else would come and check your order and get you to sign. The whole process could have been a lot slicker: Take your credit card imprint on arrival. Take you order and room number first time around.........

Plussat: I loved everything, the friendly and helpful staff, the food, the wine, the location was out if this world, value for money, the cute gestures from housekeeping

Miinukset: I couldn’t fault anything with this resort

Plussat: The view from our room was stunning. All very well organized in case you wished to take some tours, and excursion. We loved the fact that, we did a very early check in as we took a night bus, and we got a small snack upon arrival and nevertheless,our room was ready. Moreover, as it get cold during the night, we found the bed arleady warmed up by hot-water bottles.

Miinukset: Breakfast and dinner were good, but could be better. During night time, room could get very very cold.

Plussat: The staff is amazing. The food was delicious. The view from our room was exceptional. We did several tours and activities that were all so much fun. I would stay here again and I hope I do.

Miinukset: nothing

Plussat: Incredible quiet place along the lake with wonderful garden and swimming pool. Worth 5 stars international standards

Plussat: It’s a great location with private access to the lake. Staff have been AMAZING !!

Miinukset: It’s expensive but you do get a unique experience

Plussat: We choose the river view room. And it worth the value. The room was amazing, large, clean and comfortable. Amazing bathroom and shower outside. Congratulations to the spa because of the princess massage. In the restaurant the food is good a serve big portions. Really quiet place with a lot of birds. The provide a cake for my girlfriend birthday

Miinukset: Breakfast could have more options. No buffet, only a la carte. The surroundings of the the pool should be treated. The service in the restaurant should be more efficient ( my girlfriend ask a mojito, when it arrive the ice was almost melted) The plugs in the room do not work or were damage) Forty dollars for taxi to the airport. They even carry our bagages

Plussat: The hotel and location were beautiful But it was the staff that made the difference

Plussat: We loved our stay in ostello bello! In the beginning we booked just for 1 night but after we stayed 3 more nights. They have a very nice rooftop bar, a nice common area with free coffee and tea. They have a kitchen and you can order food and drinks if you are tired to go out. It is close by bike rental places, shops, restaurants and the bus stop. We partecipated also a lake trip with other guys from the hostel and it was a lot of fun:)

Miinukset: - A buffet would be a better option for breakfast - Doublecheck the informations about sightseeing and visiting the places around because we received some false informations about the tofu village

Plussat: It is centrally located and walking distance to everything you need.

Miinukset: For the price you pay, you'd expect to have a shower that doesn't dribble out of the showerhead.

Plussat: Really good hostel, social vibe and lovely staff, even got a Christmas present!

Miinukset: A bit too expensive , especially when you can get a private room for ~$15 round the corner

Plussat: The room was basic, but comfortable. The premise is actually a mix between a hotel and a hostel. This facilitates meeting different people. What I really appreciated is the fact that the hotel suggested different activities in a way that different people could sign in to participate and to split costs. I visited in this way the Inle Lake (with people I met in Ostello Bello).

Miinukset: There is some noise from the rooftop until 22.30 - 23.00. However, it is important to mention that the hotel warned me about it. The breakfast is a set small meal - there is no choice.

Miinukset: The first night, a girl was having sex in the bed above my bunk, I went to the reception to complain because it was impossible to sleep, the entire bunk was moved, the reception girl acted as it was something common since she was not shocked, it is a party hostel, you have to pay on arrival so you have no option to leave when you do not like it because they do not return the money

Plussat: Everything, especially the rooftop

Plussat: The staff were great here. I really enjoyed the tours with Maureen. Everyone was really helpful and friendly here. I would highly recommend

Plussat: Good location. Nothing wrong with it.

Miinukset: The converted hotel took away from the feel and culture of f a good hostel. Structurally wasn't as conducive to socializing.. it just felt weird. They should remodel the lobby area.

Plussat: Staff are amazing, welcoming and caring. The bed is spacious and super comfortable. Spacious room, shower with hot water all the time.

Miinukset: Curtains are only semi opaque, so room gets litten on sunrise. Breakfast took place in the nearby 81 central hotel (not a very big deal 30 secs walking). Shower head is fixed.

Plussat: Staff were lovely and helpful. Confirmed our bus and helped us book a lake tour. Breakfast was tasty, buffet style with Asian and western options. Beds were comfy, shower was a good temp and pressure. Lots of space. Good amount of food and such in our area. We finished our trek here and it was luxurious afterwards to stay here. There is 81 hotel inlay and 81 Central hotel located 1 minute walk from each other, same company but the Central is the newer one. We stayed at Central. They also let us have a shower before getting on the bus at night, nice touch.

Miinukset: Not the hotels fault but there were pigeons nesting above our room (5th floor) that were quite noisy early morning, during the day till around 7pm. If you like to sleep in, don't stay on that floor.

Plussat: good location nice staff there is not internet at all

Miinukset: supply internet, or indicate to inform this problem

Plussat: Loved it

Plussat: Hi ,this is my 3 rd stay at this little paradise , even though this is categorize as a 3 star hotel , but surly beyond that. Very Clean rooms , very good b'fast + very very friendly helpful staff + extra Ordinary Managers who go beyond her capacity to run this hotel smoothly. I have seen she is looking after one of her staff little baby while staffer on duty . very extra ordinary . Good luck you all . Hope to see you soon with my next group .

Plussat: Being able to store luggage and free shower facilities after checking out. Great friendly staff.

Miinukset: Nothing bad to say.

Plussat: Location in walking distance to the boat pier, night market and old town. Good breakfast, helpful staff

Miinukset: very weak or non existent WiFi signal in the room, had to go down to reception to use. Breakfast was taken in an ajoining hotel

Plussat: Amazingly friendly staff. They checked us in 9 hours before the official check-in time, i.e. around 5am (yes, we all love Myanmar's overnight buses :-P) with no extra fee. Always smiling and polite. Awesome huge breakfast - personally I think it's even too big, since I was never able to make it, eating maybe 1/4 of the food served - I guess they must be wasting lots of food..

Miinukset: maybe too much mosquitoes in the area but it's not the hotel's fault, obviously.

Plussat: I loved everything about this place. Boutique, beautiful location, incredible swimming pool, views on the lake side and privacy were amazing and the backdrop to the mountains was breathtaking. Take the boat ride to the property when they offer you the airport transfer - so worth it! Do a the half day private boat tour for about 35USD - he takes you anywhere and everywhere. Will be coming back to discover more and get away from it all!

Plussat: I even didn't see 1 insect in dining room, only this hotel sucessfully to do so after I stayed in 4 hotels. I can feel the warmth and careness from the hotel staff, they are so thoughtful.

Miinukset: The lake view room is still a little far away from the lake.

Plussat: The location, the pool, the rooms and the service are very good & nice.

Miinukset: BUT everything is charged extra and massively overpriced. It seems, as if they constantly try to fool their customers. In the end we felt ripped off. First of all they let you pay your stay at arrival and they use their own exchange rate in kyat, so that in the end we payed 7% more than the price from booking. They mark all the prices in usd and in the end they make a very suspicous conversion. For a bike rental they charge you 10 usd for a day (in other places we payed 6 usd for a motorbike the whole day). The bike is in very bad condition, it is a kids size and the breaks don‘t work. If you need a taxi from the hotel to the main town they charge you 20 usd for one way. If you walk about 500m outside the hotel, you can get a taxi for 10 usd. For airport transfer they charge about 60 usd, we got a normal taxi for about 26 usd. The food is medicore and to expensive for what you get. It‘s so sad we had to leave this beautiful place with such a bad feeling of beeing scamed.

Plussat: Excellent boutique resort with beautiful view of Inle lake. Attentive and very friendly staff

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Stunning location on the lake surrounded by greenery. Friendly and attentive staff. Spacious and comfortable villas (be sure to book a lake view, it’s spectacular). Complimentary mini bar (this helps when there’s nothing else around) Delicious breakfast spread.

Miinukset: The pay off for being in such stunning surroundings is that you aren’t able to walk into into town to sample other restaurants easily.

Plussat: Surpassed all expectations. Arriving by boat you turn off the main lake, pass through peaceful hydroponic tomato farms and then through a gorgeous private lily pond to a jetty where you are greeted by staff, a refreshing drink and chilled towels. Our villa overlooked the lake and although it was a little cloudy (end of rainy season) we still got to see the sunset from our private terrace. The villa was very spacious, very quiet, very romantic and relaxing. It even came with a very generous sized free mini bar! I wish we could have stayed a full week!

Miinukset: The food in the restaurant is decent and they have a large selection to suit most tastes, but overall less interesting (read: more westernised) than the local food available. Perfect if you can't be bothered to leave the resort, but there aren't any other dinner options within walking distance. On the second evening we found an excellent restaurant a short taxi ride down the road though which was one of the best meals on our trip!

Plussat: What an amazing resort, so luxurious and amazing customer service. The villa we stayed in had fantastic views, the pool was lovely, the massage i has was one of the best ever. It was out of season so at one point we seemed to be the only guests so were really pampered! Peaceful, relaxing and surrounded by nature, just how we wanted to end our holiday.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The bungalows are very stylish, spacious and come with stunning views. The surroundings (pool, garden, lakefront) are immaculately well maintained. Breakfast was outstanding. Hotel staff was very welcoming and helpful in every regard. I was a little reluctant before our stay because of some negative guest comments: “feeling trapped in a place where everything is charged for” “overstate exchange rate on payments”.. I cannot endorse those negative opinions. As per December 2019 the facts are as follows: + There is a free shuttle bus running 3 times in the afternoon/evening to and from the resort to the next town ..so if you want to dine-out..no problem just take the free shuttle. + Beverages in the mini bar and light snacks were free. There are complimentary fruits every day. + Prices in the restaurant are up-market..it’s a resort. We found 6 USD for a cocktails ( minus 25% during Happy Hour) a reasonable price for this place. + 10 USD for 2 people for a scenic 1 hour boat ride on the lake ...was well worth it. + One comment questioned the exchange rate applied on the bills. We payed the exact amount according to booking.com per credit card in USD (no surcharge for credit card payment on the room rate). On other other credit card payments they charge 3 percent..but you can always pay cash to avoid the surcharge. And the exchange rate they applied on payments in MMK was actually better than the market rate at the time of our stay. + The charge for the airport transfer was 48USD for 2 people (including a scenic boat ride to the hotel). If you find that to expensive you can take a taxi from the airport for 40.000 MMK. We stayed at the resort during Christmas holidays and we enjoyed every minute there !

Miinukset: If I would be in charge, I would probably upgrade the WIFE which is relatively week in the whole resort. We used our Ooredoo SIM cards which had at decent 4 G reception ...also in the bungalow.

Plussat: fabulous villa, amazing location, amazing staff. Overall a great experience. The restaurant is also very good.

Plussat: Location very close to everything, super kindly staff, free bikes provided, great breakfast cooked at the moment. Big and comfortable rooms; bathrooms have both shower and bathtub

Miinukset: Some noise in the room due to the close street and some humidity due to the internal bathroom with no windows. However, with AC and open windows it's been fixed

Plussat: Really nice location and kind staff, good breakfast

Miinukset: Lot of Moskitos around and some in the room Poor WiFi only works at reception

Plussat: + very good breakfast with a choice between noddle, eggs, pancake and toast. You can have all or just some things + nice clean rooms, unfortunately with a lot of mosquitos (but this is not only the problem of this hotel) - bring a mosquito net! + huge bathroom with a tub and nice hot water + good location surrounded by many restaurants + free good bicycles + very kind and helpful staff - in our last day we took a night bus and were allowed to stay in our room until the pick up arrived - without charge! + staff got me medicine for my cough and really cared about us, only during breakfast it was a little to much for us - up to 4 waitress stand next to you waiting for your order

Miinukset: - hotel owner gives a lot of helpful information but unfortunately he could not book a bus or boot for you, just information

Plussat: Friendly staff. All facilities worked. Breakfast good

Miinukset: Location right on main road...However not a problem as such as the road was being resurfaced which meant no traffic noise. Access with my motorbike was a bit restricted though.

Plussat: Nice host. Exstreamely helpfull. Good location right on Main St, but no noise. Will recommend.

Plussat: The shower was incredible. The rooms are lovely. The staff and individualized attention are wonderful.

Miinukset: The hotel is a little far from the boat landing, so that means a 10 minute walk instead of 5! It's not really a negative because it seems to be in the quieter end of the street. And it is steps away from a spa and The Owl Grill restaurants.
